A demo of Screenbound is available on Steam during Steam Next Fest, offering hands-on play with its dual-perspective puzzle mechanics. The game is in development by Crescent Moon Games, Radical Forge, and Digital Pajamas.
Crescent Moon Games and Radical Forge released a demo of Screenbound on PC via Steam for Steam Next Fest. The demo lets players experience the core mechanic of controlling a protagonist in a 3D world while simultaneously navigating a 2D character on a virtual handheld console screen. Puzzles require reconciling contradictory perspectives, as obstacles and items appear differently in each view. The developers refined the mechanics based on prior feedback, and the demo signals the project is nearing a more complete state after two years of development.
A separate demo was also playable at Summer Game Fest, where the game was described as a Metroidvania that synchronizes a 3D first-person world with a 2D side-scrolling screen. Crescent Moon Games develops the title with Radical Forge and Digital Pajamas. The Steam demo remains available for download.
